Did you know there are specific smells that can actually make
you feel happier?
It's true. And there's even scientific research to back it up.
What happens is the tiny, aromatic molecules of certain substances enter the emotional center of your brain in a way that lifts your spirits.
... And this can happen very quickly... making it an easy way to improve your
mood.
So what are these aromas that can make you feel happy?
Here are 6 of them:
Citrus... calming, clean and pleasant.
Peppermint... refreshing, encourages
you to breathe deeply.
Rosemary... unique flavor that gets your attention.
Lavender... soothing and relaxing.
Frankincense... used for its spiritually
uplifting qualities for centuries.
Pine... festive appeal that creates a sense that "all is well."
In addition to these specific aromas, I've found that other flower smells -- like jasmine -- or tree smells – like sandalwood -- can
give a happy sense of well-being too.
Now... there are a number of ways you can apply this information.
You could, for example, peel and eat an orange.
Or you could take a walk in a pine
forest.
These are fine ideas.
But to experience the ongoing benefits of these happy smells in a practical, ongoing way, essential oils are ideal...
... by applying topically...
... inhaling from a bottle...
... or especially by running them in a diffuser.
In fact, due to the happy effects these oils can have, I run my diffusers every day... especially if it's gloomy outside.
And... in case you didn't know, the Premium Starter Kit I recommend comes with a home diffuser!
So if you want to benefit from happy smells at your house, you definitely need to check this out!
